Writer's Block: Rabbit Rabbit!

[Error: unknown template qotd]The thing I would wish for the most is something that I won't know about until the end of July or later, and that is that no one at either of the libraries I work at loses their job. Since I'm not sure that counts as something I would wish for this month, and I had to chose something else, I would wish to actually see my friends more than once or twice this month.

Its intresting I happne to come upon smoeone who works at a library. Im intrested in that particular career field, and I'd like to know what is your job position there, hows the pay and what do you think about your job. Really, any information would be appreciated. Thanks

My job isn't really that exciting. I check the books in and put them away. I'm hoping to move up to a higher position eventually, but there's a hiring freeze right now, due to budget cuts. I mean, I do love my job, and everything. And I like the people I work with. I don't exactly know what my currently wage is, because it's gone up a couple of times since I started, because we used to get annual raises. Those are another thing that the budget cuts are going to affect now, though.

In addition to my official job, I do also help out at teen programs. I help with the set up, and help to chaperone the programs, but I do that as a volunteer after my workshift ends, so it's not really part of my job.

hmmmm, Thanks, that was great information. but do you get headaches from checking in books, or what Im trying to say is o average how many books do you have to check in? and is that like an entry level posoition that does not require much or any schooling?

My position is entry level, and I don't think there's any education requirement for it. They may require a high school diploma, but I'm not even sure about that. And that is also something that depends on the particular library system.As for how book I check in during my shift, I've never counted. I would guess a few hundred, based on the average circulation amounts, but I'm generally too busy to count them.
